Who wore it better? Our new paper shows that rat OFC supports Bayesian inference of hidden states! With neural correlates of inferred state transitions at the level of single neurons and population-level latent factors. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

My paper is out! Computational modeling of error patterns during reward-based learning show evidence that habit learning (value free!) supplements working memory in 7 human data sets. rdcu.be/eQjLN

Will you be at #SfN25? Stop by the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre’s posters and talks! @sfn.org

We ate well last night (in a tent, indoors, with s'mores for dessert), and are energized to talk science today at #SfN2025. Come visit our posters: AA14 this morning Y11, GG13, HH11 this afternoon

We’ll be showing: • Fully wireless, open-source Miniscopes for long-term recording • A modular multimodal biosignal platform for freely behaving animals • Miniscope-UltraSmall for long-term, multi-region imaging • MiniSTIM, integrating one-photon imaging with neural modulation

Excited for my group's #SfN posters tomorrow (Nov. 17, 1–5 PM)! We will be presenting new #Miniscopes, neural recording tools, calcium image processing, and data infrastructure advances. If you’re at the meeting, stop by posters ZZ7–ZZ14!

the prize for bingo is friendship 🥰 #sfn2025 #sfn i'm making sure I say hi to people I don't get to see too often @sfn.org

Come to Rm 30 for a nanosymposium on Adaptive Choice and hear about Juan Luis’ latest work with miniscopes in rat OFC- imaging amygdala inputs to this region throughout learning #SfN2025

Looking forward to SfN in San Diego ☀️ Come visit our posters and Nano talk!

#Amygdala and @ronypaz.bsky.social brings all the neuroscientists to yard #sfn25 #sfn2025

Personal apologies to everyone who came to “sunny” San Diego for #SfN2025.🌧️😱

In a major win for UC faculty groups and unions that sued, a federal judge on Friday blocked the Trump from imposing a $1.2-billion fine on UCLA along with stipulations for deep campus changes in exchange for being eligible for federal grants: www.latimes.com/california/s...

💦 An atmospheric river for SfN ☔️

BREAKING: In AAUP et al v. Trump (wall-to-wall union lawsuit challenging the administration’s unlawful use of TItle VI to reshape the University of California system), the faculty and staff of the UC system WON!!! We were granted our preliminary injunction! @aaup.org

Here are our contributions for #SFN2025 #SFN25, Sunday and Monday morning. Hope to see you there!

NIH grant applicants: October and November grant application submission *deadlines* will be rescheduled (🤯). Specific dates TBD. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

Just got an email from my SRO for the study section that was missed in October. Good news is that they are trying to reschedule ASAP (Dec/Jan). The bad news is that CSR is mandating that only the the top third (not half) of applications will get discussed for the next 2 rounds.

I also hope to introduce you to some terrific trainees and their work. We’ve had a long stretch of complex times for US science, and they’ve been hit especially hard. They deserve to be celebrated!

#SfN25 attendees - make sure to head to the posters when you get to the meeting on Saturday afternoon (V7-V11: Gretchen, Megan, Margaret, Louisa, Bella) and Sunday morning (KK17: Micaela) to hear about our work. We're printing the posters now and they look rad.

Folks at SfN come see the first Fraser Lab poster ever at FF6 on Tuesday Nov 18, 8am. Serena Miller has oodles of data to share on a new direction for us. Also, that day happens to be my birthday so you have to come say hi or else

@sfn.org and neuro peeps! For 10+ years, you have honored us w/your attending our Psychopharmacology Social. #SfN2025 will be the last time I and @jaredwyoung.bsky.social will host this event (Tues, Nov 18, 7-9 pm, Marriott Marquis-Grand Ballroom Salon 5). Drink, groove and mingle one last time-AND-

Looking forward to SfN in San Diego ☀️ Come visit our posters and Nano talk!

I have lost track - what's the ruling about highlighting changed text in NIH grant applications now - I feel like you're not supposed to highlight changes (different colored text etc) in an A1?

Really disappointing that our #NIH colleagues will NOT be at @sfn.org this year, will NOT be discussing science, will NOT be advising us on grants, will NOT be sharing results or advancing research. 🤐

The Sosa Lab is going to #SfN25 and actively recruiting ✨postdocs✨ with systems neuroscience experience! We study both fundamental memory processes and how memory changes during pregnancy and postpartum. If you are interested in meeting at SfN, please email me! www.sosaneurolab.com/join/postdoc...

It's conference season! #SfN2025 See my poster from the @aliciaizquierdo.bsky.social and Wikenheiser labs @sfn.org on Tuesday @ 1-3pm. ☀️ DM me to meet up in beautiful San Diego ☀️

I heard rumors about this but devastating to see it happening.. “the PPFP faculty hiring incentive is sunsetting as of fall 2025” 💔 www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

come join our dept as a fellow - and join a fantastic crew of people using interdisciplinary approaches to investigate the brain across scales - from molecules to behaviour. reach out if you have any Qs!

A fantastic opportunity to join our fantastic department! Any Qs reach out to the contacts on the advert, or forward to me at @macaskillaf.bsky.social and i will pass on

I can’t believe they called prop 50 the moment polls closed. That tells you something. Most of these races were called within 45 minutes. It’s a BLOWOUT, y’all. THAT is what we call a MANDATE.

Had to change all of my "in press" citations in this talk this morning 🤩 #MechanisticBasisOfForaging2025 www.eneuro.org/content/earl...

What an exciting program for GRC Frontal Cortex in 2026! www.grc.org/frontal-cort...

We’re hiring a technician!! We’re an inclusive team of behavioral neuroscientists trying to discover the brain circuits of learning, decision making, and habit. More info👇 wassumlab.psych.ucla.edu/join-the-lab/ Job posting: jobs.ucla.edu/jobs/8968

Doing away with the PPFP would be devastating for the UC. Important 🧵 please read 👇

A sad day for Neuroscience in the Netherlands.

I am recruiting a postdoc for a new NIMH-funded R01 using neural and behavioral models to understand anxious avoidance. Please share with anyone who may be interested! Link: faculty-emory.icims.com/jobs/155929/...

I am recruiting a postdoc at UC Santa Barbara for an NIH-funded project on the organization of lateral PFC function--across emotion and cognition--using representational fMRI & TMS. I’d love to find someone w/ a background in cognitive control & computational modeling to complement our team! 🏝️ 🧠 🧲

For those heading to #SfN25, come check out our posters on Saturday Afternoon! The lab is growing & expanding in several new directions & collabs #neuroeconomics 🧠🐭🧠 @sinaibrain.bsky.social @sinaiccp.bsky.social @sfn.org @socforneuroecon.bsky.social @bwfund.bsky.social @animalsocaging.bsky.social

If you're heading to #SfN25 in a couple weeks, pop in early to the posters on Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning to see a bunch of cool unpublished work from the lab.

Travel awards are available for undergraduate students looking to attend #Cosyne25! The application is short, and the deadline is Nov 12. @cosynemeeting.bsky.social Application: shorturl.at/6NEyk More info: www.cosyne.org/travel-grants (1/2)

What a great lineup of speakers! Glad that @hhmi.org Gilliam Fellow @zeenarivera.bsky.social will present a blitz talk next week 🇬🇧 👏🏼 (data from a collab with the Wikenheiser lab)
